Jacob deGrom was part of the so-called second tier of starting pitchers this past spring, but he's been as good as anyone in 2018, and will be in the top tier heading into 2019 drafts. Plus, Ivan Nova, Justin Turner, Wilmer Difo, and Nick Hundley.
Brad Hand is securing saves in the AL after moving leagues, Marcus Semien makes a second-half push, and Aledmys Diaz's power metrics have rebounded in 2018.
David Bote has made a big splash with some walk-off home runs, but does he have the skills to make a long-term impact? Plus, Yonny Chirinos, Jeff McNeil, Adam Plutko, and Hector Velazquez.
Anthony Rizzo has averaged 32 HR per season from 2014-17 while batting .282. However, through 435 AB in 2018, he has a .267 BA with 20 HR. What’s going on here? Plus, German Marquez, Cesar Hernandez, Robert Gsellman, and Joe Panik.
Trea Turner isn't running as often as he did a season ago, but still leads the majors in stolen bases. Plus, Steven Souza, Austin Hedges, Zack Godley, and Nick Pivetta.
Ryne Stanek has been thriving wherever the Rays pitch him in 2018, but has he really been this elite? Plus, Phillip Ervin, Renato Nunez, Pablo Lopez, and Steven Duggar.
Matt Carpenter's slow start to the season is now a distant memory, as he's been on a ridiculous hot streak for the past three months. How have his skills changed this year? Plus, J.T. Realmuto, Andrew McCutchen, Robbie Ray, and Jeremy Jeffress.
